2011 Berea College Research Symposium

The Berea Undergraduate Research Symposium (BURS), held each fall the same weekend that the Berea College Trustees visit campus, is an opportunity for the students and faculty to share research work with each other as well as these important
campus visitors. This has been organized by the science departments in the past but participation is open to
all members of the college community. In recent years we have structured the symposium with both talks and poster
presentations as well as a plenary session.
The program for Fall 2011 will be held on Friday, October 21st. The 2011 BURS will start in the afternoon with student oral presentations, continue with student poster presentations, and and with a plenary talk by Dr. Doug Stickle. Dr. Stickle is Professor and Director of Chemistry & Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) at Jefferson University Hospitals in Philadelphia. Dr. Stickle's talk is titled, “Clinical Chemistry, and Clinical Applications of Mass Spectrometry”.
We will start at 2:30 PM with two simultaneous oral presentation sessions (15 minutes each) in rooms 101 and 106 of the Science Building. The sessions are grouped by theme as much as possible. The poster session starts at 3:30 and is held in the lobby of the science building with posters from various fields (previous posters from chemistry, biology, physics, psychology, sociology, education, African American Studies, economics, industrial arts, computer science, physical education & health, and mathematics). All students who pursued substantial research projects over the previous year are encouraged to present their research.
Students and faculty interested in attending or participating in the 2018 BURS should either contact Jay Baltisberger or Anes Kovacevic of the chemistry program. Alternatively a student may elect to register online via the link on the Chemistry department web server.Registration for the 103rd Kentucky Academy of Sciences Meeting should follow this link
